Comment CHECKLIST to get my free weekly. Planning checklist.

Having a simple, repeatable system will save you so much time and you’re planning each week.

Sidenote - why doesn’t the construction paper come with the colors together like this?!

The pressure to find "the one" curriculum is real, and it's also a trap.

There's no single program built for your exact kids, so chasing perfect will keep you stuck. What actually works is simpler: a strong core, plus the right support for the spots where it falls short. Keep what's good, supplement the rest.

What subject are you supplementing right now? Tell us below!

NOvember is here! What’s on your no list for the month?

#homeschoolmom #homeschooling #homeschool #homeschoolplanning #homeschoolersofinstagram by @theorganizedhomeschool

We don’t plan to plan well. We plan for the lessons, the activities, the days to result in academic, social, character excellence for our kids.

So, our plans are continuously improving as we go through life and homeschooling.

If you don’t have it all together right now, know that you’re not alone and all you can do is keep going. Keep planning. Keep teaching. Keep improving.

You got this 🫶🏽 #homeschoolmoms by @theorganizedhomeschool

I swear I was so ready to be homeschool mom, but it just hit me that I’m also a SAHM and that part… 😭😅😅🥴

November can feel like a lot. Thanksgiving, the holidays creeping in, and school still happening. lol

So here’s a gentle November challenge for homeschool moms. Ten small things. Save this and come back to it.

You don’t have to do all ten. Pick the ones that fit your family and let the rest go. 🍂

Which ones will you try to stick with in November? Tell me below. 🧡

We didn’t plan to end up here today, but here we are and it’s the exact change we needed!

Don’t sleep on doing a few lessons at the library whenever you need to.

It’s Halloween week and I’ve been adding a little bit of Halloween here and there. Keeping it simple to not overwhelm myself but still bringing the fun of the holiday 👻🎃

- Trick or Treat table cloth and haunted houses from Dollar Tree
- Pumpkin carving and painting kits from Aldi
- Halloween art work on our kitchen calendar
- Pumpkin cookies and Halloween Mac n cheese from Aldi
- Field trip to Spark!Lab at the National Museum of American History with Halloween theme activities
- Spider pizza and web sticks because we have to eat anyways 😆

These are all so easy if you’re still looking to add some Halloween fun this week, you could totally do it! Or save for next year. 🫶🏽 by @theorganizedhomeschool
